Cameroon – Dion Ngute in Bamenda: Can Dialogue Work Without the Separatists?

Ten years after the start of the Anglophone crisis, Prime Minister Joseph Dion Ngute has relaunched community dialogue in Bamenda and Buea. The figures cited are 6,500 civilians killed, 700,000 people displaced and 488,000 children deprived of schooling. The initiative, held in Bamenda on October 15, 2026, is questioned because it reportedly excludes key conflict actors and lacks a credible roadmap and parliamentary involvement.
